Dear Mr Thompson,

 

You made a Freedom of Information request to Kent Police on 12^th
September 2019 regarding Sexual Assaults in Hospitals.

 

We apologise that you have not received a response to your request.
Unfortunately Kent Police has seen a large increase in individuals making
requests under the FOIA recently, consequently this has led to delays in
response times.

 

In order to manage our workload it would assist us to know whether the
information you requested is still required. If the information is
required then please let us know and we will continue to progress your
request as soon as we can. If the information is not required then there
is no need to reply to this email, we will file your request after 40
working days.

 

Kind Regards,
